Chapter 12

                                    

                                          
Now the remaining genins who manage to go through to the last round are all packing up to get ready to head to Suna. "I heard that place is scary!" One had squeaked. Akara looked at his team and sensei who all heard the exclamation. "Well isn't that nice? This year's genins are all timid." They are all now currently walking around the village just for a walk and to enjoy the view. The villagers who recognised Naruto glared at him or whispered or taunted him. "Hey Suna kiddo! Stay away from that demon brat! He'll kill all of you! He killed my husband!" a woman screamed.
"Hey demon brat! Why don't you kill yourself and save us the trouble! Stop brainwashing people! I bet you brainwashed the hokage! She was so angry at anyone who spoke bad of you! Just kill yourself! You cause my brother's death!"
Naruto's facial expression was blank but his team could see their sensei was in pain. The time spent as a team led them to be able to read their emotionless sensei a little easier. Temari, Kankuro and Gaara watched from the trees. Gaara twitched at the treatment Naruto received. "Go f*ing kill yourself!" Another villager added. Akara, Katsu and Hakura were all cracking their knuckles to get ready their attacks. Gaara, Temari and Kankuro jumped from their hiding spot to help the genins beat up the villagers too. "Don't." Naruto whispered as he raised his hood to cover his face. "But sensei!" Akara exclaimed. 
"No." Naruto said before continuing his walk with the rest trailing behind him. They could all tell he was upset and trying to bottle up those emotions so that no one would be upset. "Hey Naruto, come on. Tell us how your feeling. We're here to listen to you." Temari whispered to the small blond as she rubbed her hand on his back, hoping it would soothe him. "I don't deserve that." Naruto croaked out before disappearing in a yellow flash causing the few villagers glaring at him to gasp in complete shock and horror. "That's the yellow flash's move! How did the demon brat know it?! He must have stolen that move! We must report that rebellion to the hokage!" 
"That would not be necessary." Gaara spoke in a cold tone making them all freeze. 
"Ka-Kazekage-sama." They all stuttered their greeting. 
"Thank god. You're here! Thank you for chasing away the demon brat. He has brainwashed the kids from you village just then!" One oblivious woman said in relief. 
"I will not allow you to speak about my Shinobi like that." Gaara said in a dangerous tone. 
"W-what?" She asked in confusion and fear upon hearing Gaara's tone. 
"Naruto is a Suna shinobi and my best shinobi. If I hear anyone of you speak ill of my shinobi, I'll personally terminate any ties with this village and Konoha will receive no support from Suna any more. So if you guys are smart, you'll realise that Naruto is the one that is bonding this two village together. I should have terminated that bond the minute Naruto left this pathetic village to come to me all broken. I would not allow that treatment to my bestfriend. You're lucky he gave you mercy." Gaara said, almost growling before he spun on his heels to leave. Rookie 9 and their sensei stood their shocked at the speech. Naruto was the only thing that had actually linked the two village together? They drove him away! 
"Oh shit!" Temari exclaimed in horror. 
"What's wrong?!" Kankuro asked hurriedly. Temari just ignored him as she ran, screaming out Naruto's name and expanding her senses to try locate the blond. They ran after her confused about why she suddenly cursed and started running. "Temari! What's going on? What's wrong?"
"This village! This village is what's wrong!" Temari screamed as tears welled up in her eyes while she desperately searched for her not blood related brother. "What do you mean?" 
"Remember what he told us on the day he came?!" Temari screamed at her two brothers, who thought about it before they're eyes bulged in shock. "No..." Gaara whispered.
"Yes! That's why he always stayed with us and never left either one of us!" Temari yelled as she skidded to a halt to glare at Rookie 9 their sensei for following them. "He's afraid." Kankuro whispered, confusing Naruto's genin team. 
"Naruto sensei is afraid? Of what?" 
"We can't tell you guys about it. That would be disrespecting his wishes." Gaara said as he widened his sense to try locate Naruto. "Damn! He's too good at hiding his chakr-" Gaara was cut off when they all felt a flare of chakra from the hokage monument. That spike of chakra was Naruto's and it sent a very clear message to the Suna's kage and his siblings. Naruto is very frightened and someone is confronting him, someone that caused his pain is confronting him right now. "To the hokage monument." Gaara ordered and they all took off at full speed to the monument, leaving the Konoha shinobi in the dust before they finally regained their senses enough to start running after the Suna shinobi to the monument. 
                          
Naruto was trying to calm his heart as he sat on the head of the fourth hokage. "Dad, I know about you already. Why... What made you think that I would be hailed a hero?" Naruto whispered, his thoughts were broken when he sensed someone behind him too late. Someone has already grabbed his hands and clamped a hand over his mouth, striking fear from Naruto as memories rushed at him, freezing him in fear. "Well, well, well, look who we have here." A familiar voice said, causing Naruto's eyes to widened in absolute fear. Please no. Please. 
Kit! Stay calm stay calm! Kurama screamed at him but to no avail as Naruto's heart pumped faster, hammering in his chest painfully. That voice. He, they were the ones who... Did that to me. Naruto thought in fear. Calm down! Kit, please. You have to calm down. Your heart isn't in the best condition. Please calm down. Kurama begged. They have recently found out that that unknown substance that was injected into him whilst in Konoha by some shinobi was a poison. A poison that was too late to remove and has started to take its toll on Naruto. There was in one occasion where they found out the hard way one thing of what it does. Naruto was just training when he suddenly collapsed in agony and his heart hammered painfully in his chest, causing lots of stress on him and his heart stopped completely. The Suna medics managed to revive him but he was in a coma for a month in the intensive care unit. The medics then ran test on him because no healthy shinobi would suddenly have a heart attack for no reason. 
Naruto tried, he really tried to calm himself but he found the fear too overwhelming, his chakra even spiked but Kumara managed to control it so it doesn't alert anyone too far away. "You remember me. Hmmm." The man breathed into Naruto's ear as his friends watched with a manic grin when he spoke to Naruto and licked his face causing Naruto to flinch and his heart to work on overdrive. Relax kit! Please! Calm down. Kumara said as Naruto gasped, having a hard time keeping up with his heart as it pumped faster and faster, causing his lungs to be deprived of oxygen. "Well, time to die demon!" The guy behind Naruto shifted and his friend tried to plunged a kunai through Naruto. He immediately casted a genjutsu. It didn't do much but it did divert the kunai to his stomach instead. A better chance of surviving that than trying to survive on that would go string into his heart. Naruto's eyes widened involuntary. Blood rose up his throat and escaped his lips and the man removed to his hand in time to avoid the blood getting onto his hand. He released Naruto and watched in glee as the 'demon brat' fell to the ground and blood pooled around him quickly. A big gush of wind knocked them all back and they turned to see a fuming Temari with her fan wide open, glaring daggers at them. Gaara used his sand to trap a few of those shinobi while Kankuro did the same with his puppets for the other half of those shinobi. "Kazekage-sama, what brings you here and why are you doing this?"
"Why?! You injured MY shinobi and MY bestfriend and have the nerves to ask me that question?! You insolent bastard!" Gaara growled and held himself back from killing them all. They all deserve to suffer in jail instead of getting the luxury of being killed and not suffering for their crimes. Temari ran over to check on Naruto. 
"Hey." Temari whispered, choking back her cries as she propped the bleeding teen onto her lap and tried to help with the process of healing, something she learnt from Naruto was medical ninjutsu. She wasn't good at it nor was she bad. Her skills were almost advance but it wasn't enough to save Naruto because of the small amount of chakra she has so Naruto has to heal himself. Naruto was also working with her to try to increase her chakra reserve. It was getting bigger by the day but at a really small rate. "Temari." Naruto croaked out as he shakily reached over to grasp her hand for comfort. "He- they-" 
"Shhh. Don't talk." 
"No. They did it. They... They were the ones who raped me." Temari grew extremely angry and everyone turn to look at her when they felt her killing intent. She cracked her knuckles and she laid the almost healed blond in Gaara's lap when he came over to kneel beside her to run a hand through Naruto's hair to comfort him. "What's happening?! Oh my god! Anbu! Arrest them!" Tsunade yelled. The Anbu was in the process of taking them away when they felt Temari's anger. The killing intent was so intense it forced them to turn around to look at her in fear of her getting even angrier at the lack of eye contact. "You bloody bastards!" She howled in pure rage. "You are going to pay for everything you have done to my brother." She hissed, her anger could put the great Kyuubi to shame but kyuubi was on her side so the kyuubi was rooting for her to pulverised them all. Temari whispered to Tsunade as Naruto tried to sit up. Tsunade was getting angry too. She cracked her knuckles and her neck. "I know the perfect punishment." Tsunade said with a dangerous grin to Temari who held the same grin. Naruto's attackers gulped. They're so dead.
